She is apparently on voice rest

nah everyone goes on voice rest for a short amount of time. Che and Louisa where on it last week and they still performed, normally the voice rest is enough but even if not they normally still perform

If she does, I reckon she's hovering just above the danger zone. Simon's been very fond of her since her audition.

lol going home next week then... its a patern.

If she is not fit to perform she will have to be eliminated as they cant give contestants a free pass to the next round.

true... as if they got too many live shows remaining.

Lol pretty sure everyone at some point goes on voice rest.

`Yes they can and they've done it a number of times before (Diana, Lucy,)

and they got eliminated the following week or two...

I'm sure Lauren will perform. I have no doubt that she's on vocal rest, but she seems happy enough in pap pictures taken this morning .

Diana didn't, she made it to the semi-finals and Lucy was never eliminated, she withdrew because she was still ill. You get one free pass is the 'unofficial' rule.

What about a pattern?

Contestants shouldn't be allowed a free pass ever- especially when it's a double elimination. If they can't perform, open their phoneline along with everyone else and the public can choose to save them based on past performances if they like.

She is an awful contestant who needs to leave soon, i hope she is not getting a pass straight through a double elimination night.

Good make it permanent

What are they trying to say - that she has practiced so much she's made her throat raw? A professional singer has to learn how to use their voice effectively. If she can't look after the tools for the job then maybe she needs to retire.

it will not be fair to those who will go

Can still remember the furore with Diana

That night when she was put through to the next week as she had a sore throat and then THAT VT when it showed her screaming through a fireworks display
